    Luckily I have just looked at my driving licence and noticed that it expires on the second of Feb 2010

    The old paper licences were vailid until you were about 65 but the Photo ones expire much earlier so go check!!

    I still have the paper one, My mate says by law it should be the photo id one.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Photo ID is now only good for 10 years, always take a photocopy of your entitlement, i had to resit my bike test because the DVLA lost it when i renewed it and the records were destroyed in a fire

    Nice heads-up - I didn't realise they were only good for 10 years. Just checked mine and I'm ok until 2012 .

    I'm actually filling in an application form for a new licence because my foto licence expires on the 17 Jan 2010. Your licence is valid until you're 65 however, the photo if you have a photo licence only last 10 years!
